IBM unveils mainframe blog
In addition to the z9 mainframe and virtualization technologies IBM announced yesterday, Big Blue also launched a blog dedicated to the mainframe.
"We're now hip," said Bill Zeitler, senior vice president and group executive for IBM's systems and technology group. Zeitler added that the blog "is even run by someone younger than 30" years old.
Mainframe Weblog appears to have several contributors, mostly from within IBM, but also including James Governor, co-founder of analyst firm RedMonk.
The first post, titled The Mainframe Geek, makes the point that mainframers share some distinct personality characteristics, and lists several ways to determine whether you are, in fact, a mainframe geek. But I'll let you read those for yourself.
China Martens of the IDG News Service wrote about the new hardware and software in IBM unveils new mainframe, talks up virtualization.
